Lake Powell

Every year my boss takes our office out to Lake Powell to spend the day on his houseboat. We had a lot of fun swimming, riding jet ski's, and just cruising around the lake. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Emily was so relaxed floating in the water that she almost fell asleep. She didn't like the sun in her eyes though.

Emily has always been a fan of real strawberries. She loves them so much she did not like it when the last of the strawberry was eaten, she wanted more. Her face was classic when she was eating it. You did not dare take it from her or she would give you a mean glare.

Yum, this is why Emily loves strawberries. We love the after effect strawberries have on Emily's face once she is done eating them. Both her and Dad were really sticky.

Russell and I waving at Emily from the wave runner. While Emily was being good, we went off on a little wave runner adventure while one of my co-workers and friend, Stacy, watched Emily. Russell and I enjoyed sometime fun time together out on the lake with the wave runner.

The wave runners were really fun. We loved jumping the big waves of the tour boats.

The water was soooo nice. It was the perfect temperature, I could have floated in it all day. While everyone was going off the slide or jumping and diving off of the side of the houseboat, Emily and I were just floating around.

Here's Emily and Russell driving the boat. We had a really good time at Lake Powell.

After a fun day of boating, we went out to eat at the Rainbow Cafe at Wahweap (I think that was the name). After dinner, the waitress asked us if we wanted dessert. She said that the Berry Cobbler was "Life changing." So Russell had to try it! Our friend Stacy Richan(boy) said he would pay Russell $5 if he would totally act out his "life changing cobbler experience" to the waitress. When the waitress came with the cobbler, Russell took his first bite. Then he totally started acting! When the waitress came back, Russell got emotional. He told the waitress his life had changed and he owed it all to her. The waitress was totally playing along to, she said she had the same experience when she had it. It was so hilarious. The waitress said Russell should win an Oscar for his act. Needless to say we came home $5 richer.

We had a great vacation. Thank you Rick for taking us out!
